Chapter 918: Curves Save the Country
"The lightning carrier-based aircraft has excellent performance, and it is a perfect match to equip the light fleet aircraft carrier, which can give full play to the maximum combat effectiveness, but our domestic navy does not need to be equipped with such a carrier-based aircraft, as far as the enemy faced by our navy is concerned, this carrier-based aircraft can not play a big role, and the carrier-based aircraft still needs to be medium-sized and heavy J-18 after all, and only in this way can the combat needs be guaranteed. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info After I go back this time, I can prepare the improved design of the J-18 carrier-based aircraft, and it just so happens that it will take at least ten years for the domestic aircraft carrier to be built and put into service, and the time can be waited for. ”
Anyway, what Yang Hui said is a big truth, after the completion of the lightning carrier-based aircraft project, the carrier-based aircraft development capability of the 0111 Institute is completely cultivated, and at this time, it is just a matter of course to say that the development of the supporting carrier-based improvement of the J-18 is just a matter of course.
And what Yang Hui said, of course, Chief Engineer Wu also knows that as long as the navy is concerned about the aircraft carrier project, as long as they have been in contact with the J-18 and know what the aerodynamic shape of this aircraft looks like, they can guess that the future of the J-18 aircraft is definitely not just land-based, and the naval aircraft carrier is where it will make great achievements in the future.
"What General Manager Yang said is indeed very reasonable, and now there is really no great need to purchase and maintain carrier-based lightning fighters in China, and we are just talking here, you know that after we joined the army, the future destiny is to live for the aircraft carrier, and we can see the carrier-based aircraft developed by the country, even if we know in my heart that it is difficult for this aircraft to enter the army, but I still have to think about it, this feeling is like a hundred ants scratching my heart."
Completed the first carrier-based lightning catapult take-off test, the biggest task of the aircraft carrier to go to sea has been successfully completed, although the follow-up has also prepared for the next carrier-based interception landing, such as the mobilization of two carrier-based lightning for the contact ship return test, which can be regarded as able to make people a little excited, but these are not too interesting to Yang Hui, anyway, this is not a successful carrier-based interception landing.
........
After the group returned to port on the aircraft carrier, the photos posed and captured in the morning rushed to the major newspapers like the wind, and of course, the key military magazines in the international mainstream, especially aerospace magazines, were once again blown up by this heavy news.
As the direct creator of shipborne lightning, Chief Wu is gathering experts from all parties to conduct data analysis on the test aircraft flying back, not only the relevant team of 0111 Institute led by Chief Wu, but also Northrop is also indispensable, and Embraer is also the future production unit of shipborne lightning, and it must not be absent, and the three parties are smiling at this success.
Yang Hui, who had already rested, began to prepare for the follow-up talks with Embraer and the Brazilian government on the second day of the successful completion of the test, this time Yang Hui was already determined to bring Embraer closer to the C-320 transport aircraft project, even if Brazil's requirements for medium-sized transport aircraft are not as high as those in Europe, but this does not mean that it cannot be pulled into cooperation, after all, as long as the needs of all parties are fully considered in the early design, and there is a design idea called modular design.
The so-called modular design, naturally, does not need to be talked about, the previous Chada integrated UAV used this design, and in this case, Yang Hui feels that it can definitely be applied to C-320, but Yang Hui himself still knows what his so-called modular design is, saying that it is a modular design scheme, it is better to say that it is forcibly pulled up.
"Let's go! This is our first trilateral meeting with the Brazilian government and Embraer, and if I am not bad, there is a 60% chance that the Brazilian side will be persuaded to choose to purchase the C-320 as the next generation of medium tactical transport aircraft, so that we should have an order for more than 50 aircraft, which is definitely a boost for the C-320. ”
Yang Hui knew what the KC-390 was finally developed by the previous face, and in contrast, he also understood why Brazil was not very interested in the C-320 this time, which not only involved whether the aircraft was localized in Brazil, but even more because the C-320 was not very suitable for the needs of the Brazilian army.
But then again, what Yang Hui knows in his heart now is even better than the Brazilian army about what kind of aircraft they need, that is, when this is certain, are there any other problems? It's completely gone!
With the two Germans who failed to sell before, this is also the main venue of the tripartite talks, but what is somewhat strange is that the theme of the meeting at this time is not about the C-320 transport aircraft, but first talks about the plan to change the turbofan of the Xinzhou series of United Passenger Aircraft Company, which Yang Hui did not give any positive answer to before.
After sitting down, the meeting between Embraer and AVIC Southwest did not involve the equity relationship between the two parties, and there was no question of who was superior to others in terms of equity.
The professional manager also got straight to the point: "General Manager Yang, you were not willing to talk too much about the new aircraft development work of your company's United Passenger Aircraft Company in the previous banquet, but now you took the initiative to ask for a tripartite meeting. ”
This time, it was also said that Yang Hui took the initiative to meet with Embraer, so it is no wonder that Embraer Airlines would say this, but Yang Hui also knew that there was no need to continue to hide at this time, and he would make a move when it was time to make a move.
"The reason why I am not willing to respond positively to your future model development of the United Airliner is because the rumors from the outside world are not groundless, and the United Airliner Company does have plans to carry out the turbo to turbofan plan of the MA60 aircraft, and I know that this will cause a big market conflict with the EMB-145 airliner, so I am not willing to answer your questions head-on."
Immediately afterwards, Yang Hui's words changed and gave Embraer a change: "But now it is different, I think it is possible to achieve differentiated competition between Embraer and United Passenger Aircraft, that is to say, if this meeting between us can have a good result, United Passenger Aircraft can give up the pace of entering the field of regional turbofan airliners and turn to another direction." ”
In fact, there are some traps in this statement, first of all, this "regional turbofan airliner" only refers to the turbofan airliner, if the United Passenger Aircraft Company is developing a turboregional airliner, this is another matter, such as now under the leadership of Kinchenko, the project of the new boat 60 is being magically modified: the new boat 600.
Yang Hui has every reason to believe that as long as the MA600 project is completed, this new design can definitely encroach on the market share of the EMB-145 in one step, even if the two aircraft are turbo and turbofan, but Yang Hui fully believes in the potential of the MA600.
